'This book's excellent discussion of the theories and concepts
involved in profiling terrorists, including those who are
incarcerated, is a major contribution to the academic discipline on
these issues.'Perspectives on TerrorismTerrorist Minds: From
Social-Psychological Profiling to Assessing the Risk explores the
process of terrorist behavioural analysis, from the
social-psychological profiling of terrorists to the development of
risk assessment tools. Most of the research for this book was
conducted in cooperation with the Intelligence Department of the
Israeli Prison Service via qualitative, in-depth interviews with
leaders of terrorist organisations in Israeli prisons. Once
social-psychological profiles were established, terrorist risk
assessment tools were developed to allow for better observation and
practical management of associated problems.This book fills the
gaps in existing literature on the psychology of imprisoned
terrorist group leaders through the analysis of individuals'
social, professional and personal lives, as well as their attitudes
and perceptions. The book also covers the practical aspects of risk
assessment based on social-psychological profiling, and discusses
relevant tools that have been developed in recent years. It aims to
better inform counter-terrorism initiatives and policymaking, as
well as improve methods of communication, counter-terrorism, and
conflict resolution.
